  1. You know what day it is. It's #WeevilWednesday. Post 'em if you got 'em.

    I think this is _Barypeithes pellucidus_, a. k. a. the hairy spider weevil. Found in the garden snacking on a dandelion stem with its snoot covered in pollen.

  5. It's the first #WeevilWednesday this year that I've actually been able to go out and find a weevil! Take a closer look at this snoot!

  14. On Friday I saw my first Buddleja weevils in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ. This is a biocontrol agent purposefully introduced into NZ to control butterfly bush, *Buddleja davidii*, which had been spreading out-of-control through much of the country.

    Until recently it's been a bit too cold in Christchurch for Buddleja weevils to thrive. No longer, apparently.

    The first Christchurch observation of Buddleja weevils on iNaturalist was in March last year. Mine is now the 6th observaton from the city.

    The larvae are distinctive yellow jelly slugs, and the adult weevils are brown.

    Keep an eye out for them on a butterfly bush near you.

    As the climate warms, weeds are pushing southwards. At least it's good to know that their biocontrol agents are doing the same.

  19. See below for @[email protected]'s photos + names of #Brighton #Weevils #Wildlife #Biodiversity #Nature #brightonwildlife #Weevil are quite easy to identify as a group: most belong in the #family Curculionidae; part of Coleoptera #order They have a very distinctive #rostrum, or snout.

  25. The Armadillo Weevil (Otiorhynchus armadillo) first appeared on plant material from Europe. Not yet widespread in Britain this one was photographed by @[email protected] in #Brighton The banded appearance on the #Weevil's #elytra reminds some people of an Armadillo! #brightonwildlife
